The event, according to the Enpi website (www.enpi-info.eu),
will bring together around 20 people, including journalists,
representatives of civil society and experts on issues related
to media, migration and perceptions to discuss if and how
perceptions towards Arab and Muslim populations in Europe have
changed following the Arab Spring and as a consequence of the
economic crisis. The meeting will be followed by a seminar in
Barcelona in early 2013. The aim of that meeting will be to
issue specific recommendations to be presented to a civil
society and institutional audience during the second Anna Lindh
Forum that in Marseille in April 2013.

The Anna Lindh Foundation for Inter-Cultural Dialogue
promotes knowledge, mutual respect and inter-cultural dialogue
between the people of the Euro-Mediterranean region, working
through a network of more than 3,000 civil society organisations
in 43 countries. Its budget is co-funded by the EU (7 million
euros) and the EU member states (6 million euros). (ANSAmed)
